I Had a Rooster: A Traditional Folk Song

32 pp. | Viking | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-670-03521-1 $$16.99
(3) K-3 This book presents a cumulative folksong with pages cut progressively shorter, allowing previous verses to be visible as the song becomes more involved. The folk-art-like oil paintings show each animal with a distinct personality, but the book is a bit dark and suffers from a static feeling. Sturdy coated paper and spiral binding do make the book lap-friendly. Pete Seeger contributes a foreword and sings on the accompanying CD.
